Artist Residencies
The Viúva Lamego factory is a space for artistic creation, with a historical connection with artists, architects, designers who want to make ceramics their means of artistic expression, defending the valorisation and inclusion by talent, added to the know-how of our artisans.
Viúva Lamego is a centre for artistic development. Since 1930, Viúva Lamego has opened its doors to welcome artists into the factory. The encounter between authors and master craftsmen is cultivated: a relationship in favour of discovery.
